Summer skincare: 6 tips to make your summer beauty routine more effective
Summer is a lively season, full of life and light. The days get longer, the temperature rises, the beaches become crowded and the air fills with fresh and fruity scents. It's the perfect time to bask in the sun and relax by the sea, but also to take care of your skin with specific summer skincare.
Indeed, with the increase in heat and humidity, the skin may need special attention to best handle the season. The sun and exposure to the outdoors can cause negative
effects on the skin, such as dryness, peeling and redness, so it's important to protect and nourish it adequately.
The summer beauty routine, different from winter skincare, can be of great help in these cases: here are 6 tips for taking care of your skin during the summer.
1. Deep cleansing with gentle products
In the summer, the skin is exposed to various aggressors - sweat, sebum, dust, sun and smog - that accumulate on the skin's surface. Even frequent use of sunscreens and other protective products can make the skin oilier because they form a thicker layer on the skin's surface. Therefore, it is important to pay special attention to facial cleansing in your summer skincare routine by using gentle but effective products, such as cleansing foam or milk, to remove any trace of impurities. This way, the skin remains fresh and radiant and ready for the next steps of your routine.
First of all, if you often use makeup, use gentle makeup removers that clean deeply, removing every trace of makeup and providing a feeling of freshness. For instance, the Bifase makeup remover based on thermal water gently cleanses the skin tissue, leaving it clean, hydrated and scented, ready for the next steps of your daily skincare.
Afterwards, to achieve a complete and effective facial cleansing, it is recommended to use a milk cleanser like Vanitas, which contains salsobromoiodic fossil water. This ingredient is gently purifying, nourishing and enveloping. Additionally, thanks to Cotton Oil and Calendula Oil, the milk cleanser deeply hydrates and protects the skin of the face, leaving it perfectly clean and ready to receive the products of the following steps.
2. Regular exfoliation
A fundamental step in the summer skincare routine is exfoliation, which helps renew the skin by removing dead skin cells, making it brighter and softer and contributing to a more uniform and lasting tan. To achieve the best results and avoid irritation, it's important to use gentle scrubs based on natural ingredients such as sugar or sea salt no more than once or twice a week.
In particular, the Pumilia gommage is an excellent choice for preparing the skin for the following steps of the beauty routine. This scrub is suitable for all skin types, helps to remove dead cells and promote cell turnover, giving the skin a natural glow and vitality. With its deep cleansing action, it makes the skin tissue clean, smooth, elastic and brighter.
For mature skin, on the other hand, there is the Noveo black diamond exfoliator, a facial scrub that gives a more renewed appearance and a visible lifting effect already from the first applications. The formulation of Noveo includes sugar microgranules for gentle exfoliation, combined with the detoxifying and regenerating action of charcoal particles. The real surprise is the black diamond powder, a precious stone still little known, which effectively completes the exfoliating action. Moreover, the presence of organic honey in its texture makes it a nourishing and emollient product.
3. Specific treatments for skin needs in summer
During the summer, the needs of our skin can change significantly depending on skin type and the aggressions it may face. For this reason, it is crucial to customize our summer skincare routine to meet the specific needs of each skin type.
Here are some of the most common facial or body treatments during this period.
Brightening treatment for a more radiant face
A brightening treatment aims to improve the appearance of the face by making it more radiant, brighter and youthful. It is often used when the skin appears dull, tired, or has skin spots, with the purpose of evening out the complexion and reducing imperfections.
There are different types of brightening treatments, which differ according to the active ingredients used and their method of application. Among the most common products are creams, masks and serums, which may contain substances such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C. These active ingredients have antioxidant, moisturizing and lightening properties that help to improve the appearance of the skin.
One specific product that can be used to restore the radiance of the skin is the Gocce di Luce serum. This product, thanks to its innovative formulation and the presence of Salsomaggiore Fossil Salt-Bromine-Iodine Water, has a brightening, stimulating and firming action on the skin of the face. It is suitable for all skin types and can be used daily, both in the morning and evening, to even out, plump and tone the complexion.
The final effect is that of glowing, plump, full and silky skin that reflects all of its intrinsic beauty.
Eye contour treatment for a brighter look
The eye contour is a particularly delicate area of the face, characterized by very thin and sensitive skin. Due to this fragility, it is easy for wrinkles and signs of aging to form, especially in the presence of heat and humidity, which highlight puffiness and tiredness around the eyes. To prevent these problems, the Fiordaliso tonic can be a valuable ally because it can be used not only daily as a tonic but also as a refreshing and relaxing eye mask for puffy and tired eyes. This thermal cosmetic is able to protect the brightness and well-being of the face and eye contour thanks to its remineralizing, relaxing and soothing properties.
For an immediate refreshing effect, simply apply a small amount of the product directly with your hands or a cotton ball on the perfectly cleansed skin of your face.
For the well-being of this delicate area, Il Tempio della Salute also offers the Aquagen delicate cream which can be used after the serum and which protects the thin skin of the eye contour, refreshing it and leaving it deeply hydrated and more compact.
Among the products based on thermal water, an ingredient particularly suitable for its soothing properties, there is also the Expression anti-wrinkle cream with toning, elasticising and antioxidant properties which restores brightness and protection to the eyes.
Anti-fatigue treatment for revitalized legs
As temperatures rise, legs can experience swelling, heaviness and fatigue due to heat and accumulation of fluids in tissues. In these situations, it is recommended to use leg treatments that help reduce muscle fatigue and tiredness. They are particularly suitable for those who perform jobs that require standing for many hours, athletes who engage in intense physical activity and those who experience circulation problems during hot days.
In these cases, there is Cryogenesi defatiguing gel that helps revitalize and tone the legs, giving a sensation of freshness and well-being. This product has stimulating, toning, refreshing and defatiguing properties and is suitable for all skin types. It is recommended to use the product daily, after cleansing, to improve microcirculation, release excess waste and fluids, protect blood vessels and improve venous return. Cryogenesi also acts on cellulite and protects venous and lymphatic microcirculation. Its effects include a sensation of lightness and refreshed, revitalized, velvety and toned skin.
Refreshing treatment for less tired skin
To fight the sensation of heat and fatigue, it is possible to use refreshing treatments. Il Tempio della Salute offers Nebula mineralizing thermal water: a practical sprayer that uses the Thermal Water of Salsomaggiore, known for its refreshing and repairing properties. This product can be used on all skin types, both on the face and body, and can be applied several times a day to indulge in an intensely refreshing and mineralizing break.
Spraying from 30 cm away from the affected area (face, neck and décolleté) allows for illuminating, energizing and revitalizing effects on the skin. Nebula can also be used as a primer for other steps in the daily beauty routine, as a makeup fixative or as an alternative to toner.
Reshaping treatment for a more toned appearance
Preparing for summer can mean wanting to improve the appearance of your body to wear swimsuits and lighter clothing with confidence.
In these cases, the remodeling treatment can be an excellent solution to achieve this goal, as it helps to reduce the presence of localized fat deposits and improve the tone of the skin.
For an even more intensive treatment, there is our Biphasic Lipolytic Draining Sculptura Serum which, with one application a day for 28 days, fights cellulite blemishes and reshapes the figure. After 4 weeks the skin tone will be visibly improved and blemishes attenuated. Furthermore, to maintain the effects for a long time it is recommended to apply one ampoule twice a week continuously.
However, it's important to emphasize that remodeling treatments should be combined with a proper diet and regular physical activity to achieve optimal and lasting results.
4. Light hydration for the body's skin
In the summer, proper skin hydration is essential because it tends to dry out more easily due to dry air and heat.
To keep the skin soft and well-hydrated without weighing it down, it's important to use a lightweight but effective moisturizer, for example with products based on natural ingredients such as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid or vitamin E.
Cosmetics like Serica or Lactea, which combine the freshness of Thermal Water with Argan Oil for a fluid and lightweight formulation, can help nourish and tone the entire body.
In particular, Serica oil provides a daily cuddle sensation with its elasticizing, nourishing, remineralizing and velvety formula suitable for all skin types; while the hydrating milk Lactea is an emollient that leaves the skin soft, toned and pleasantly scented. Thermae’s Décomposée moisturizing and restorative face cream can also be an excellent ally in your daily beauty routine. Thanks to its intensely hydrating formula, as well as protecting from the sun's rays (SPF 15). Any skin type can easily absorb the composition of this product, leaving the face soft, nourished and elastic, thanks to the presence of Ficus Opuntia extract and Salsomaggiore Fossil Saline-Bromine-Iodine Water.
When used every day in summer skincare routine, these products can help maintain soft and hydrated skin even during the hottest months.
5. Sun protection to be applied multiple times a day
In the summer, we cannot ignore the damage that sun exposure can cause to our skin: most of the visible skin aging is caused by UV rays, so it is crucial never to skip this step in your summer skincare routine.
To protect your skin from the sun's rays (UVB and UVA), it is important to use broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high sun protection factor and reapply it consistently throughout the day.
While younger skin can use lighter sun protection, mature or more sensitive skin requires particularly effective sun protection. This is because the reduction of collagen and elasticity of the skin, which is a consequence of aging, can increase the risk of wrinkles and sunspots. For this reason, it's advisable to use specific products for mature skin that contain moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients, capable of protecting and nourishing the skin exposed to the sun.
You must then remember to renew the application of the sun cream according to the indications of the chosen protection. In addition, it's advisable to support skin health through a healthy diet that favors the intake of substances naturally protective of the skin such as vitamins C and E, as well as avoiding sun exposure during the hottest hours of the day.
Among the products of Il Tempio della Salute, the day cream Décomposée offers protection to all skin types that can help against the effects of summer sun thanks to its SPF 15 protection factor. It is enriched with active ingredients that make it elasticizing, refreshing and soothing. The cream is easily absorbed by the dermis and is suitable for daily use, both in the morning and at night. After applying Décomposée, the skin appears soft, nourished, remineralized...and protected!
6. Light makeup, even in summer skincare
Keeping your skin healthy during the summer, without weighing it down with the application of too many cosmetics, does not mean completely eliminating makeup from your summer beauty routine. To avoid too aggressive products, it is advisable to use lightweight and waterproof makeup.
If you want to simplify your routine further, Il Tempio della Salute BB creams are an ideal choice for those looking for a practical and quick solution to even out their complexion and give their skin a healthy glow during the day. The BB Lux light skin and BB Lux dark skin can also be mixed to get the correct color for your complexion. In addition, BB creams include a sun protection factor of at least SFP20, ensuring effective protection against damage caused by UV rays.
Using a complete beauty routine in the summer means taking care of your beauty.
Summer is a magical season, but it can be a challenge for skin health, especially for mature, sensitive or skin with special needs.
Preparing the skin for the summer sun requires adequate daily, careful and constant care. With the right products and treatments, it's possible to keep the skin healthy, protect it from the sun and achieve maximum well-being during the hottest season of the year.
Moisturizing, protecting it from the sun's rays, using lightweight and specific products for the season: if you adopt adequate summer skincare, your skin will thank you for the attention you dedicate to it, showing you its best during these weeks of sun, sea and fun.
